Yup, yup.
So, EAT MEAT OR DIE (except Jenn and Dale) 2006: SAVANNAH STYLE is kicking off tomorrow night. I cant wait. It should be a lot of fun. Some of the folks from Athens are arriving tonight (within the next hour). Some folks from Jacksonville are coming up and some folks from Augusta and Columbia are coming, not to mention the fine folks of Savannah. It's gonna be a good time. My friend asked me today... "what is this for again?" and for a second I forgot. It's actually our official housewarming/welcome to Savannah thing, but we decided to make it a reincarnate of EAT MEAT OR DIE 2004. The aforementioned BBQ was a lot of fun, but with a lot less people and no keg. I'm expecting... 30 people or so, that I know of anyway.
I was supposed to buy a chain to put the dog on so I dont have to constantly yell at her and figure out where the hell she is. Our house front porch lets out directly onto the sidewalk of a fairly busy street and I hate having to watch her constantly. There are a lot of cats around (which she will chase and not listen to a damn word being screamed out of my mouth) and there are lots of hobos/crackheads/nare-do-wells that wander by that could easily scoop her up or she could chase (depending on how that particular hobo/crackhead/nare-do-well feels about dogs... a lot of them are scared shitless of her). I also hate leaving her in the house because she whines and jumps on the window seals so she can see us, which pulls the "curtains" (sheets, as of right now) down and leaves little push pins everywhere for me to step on. Plus she scratches the paint off the front door when she jumps up to look out that window. So, we'll just see how things go. I'll probably just have to end up hovering over her like a hawk, but hopefully they'll be enough people here that have food and she'll just beg off of them and not be distracted by the passerbys.
At any rate, watching the dog or not, this weekend is going to be a good time.
